The 27-year-old New Hampshire native, who started her journey in Washington as an intern during President Trump’s first term, has come a long way from her humble beginnings in the political world. Now, as the Press Secretary in the Trump administration’s second term, she’s overseeing one of the most important jobs in the U.S. government.

A “Dream Come True” Role

Leavitt, who was appointed as the White House press secretary in early 2024, described the role as a “dream come true.” She reflected on the emotional significance of this new chapter, considering it the culmination of her hard work, beginning with her internship years earlier. “I can’t believe I’m here,” she said, showing her gratitude and appreciation for her position while taking viewers through her personal and professional spaces.

Exploring the White House: From Pebble Beach to the Briefing Room

The tour began with Leavitt showing Kate Mackz around the White House complex, taking her through the area known as “Pebble Beach,” where the press gathers. She humorously explained that it’s “where all the press hang out,” hinting at the constant buzz that fills the space during the day. Leavitt discussed her role in relaying the President’s agenda to the American people through the press, a job she takes very seriously.

She then led Mackz to her favorite spot in the White House—the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room, where she regularly holds press conferences. “It’s historic,” she said with visible pride. “It’s quiet right now, but typically on briefing days, you walk in here and it’s packed with journalists from all over the world, asking questions.”

Despite the room’s iconic status, Leavitt revealed that the briefing room is smaller than it appears on television, a realization many visitors have when they first step inside. She playfully added, “That’s the initial reaction of everyone who comes in here. It’s way smaller than you would imagine.”

Plans to Expand the Briefing Room

As the tour continued, Leavitt hinted at one of her primary goals: “We need to make it bigger so we can allow more voices in.” She emphasized that, while the room is historic, it could benefit from more space to accommodate the growing number of journalists and voices in the press room. Leavitt’s desire to make the space more inclusive and accessible reflects her vision for a more open and transparent press office during her tenure.

Personal Moments: Her Office and Mementos

Leavitt also offered a look at her personal office, located just a few steps away from the briefing room. The office is filled with meaningful photos, including a framed picture of her son and a snapshot taken during her first press briefing. “This job is a full-circle moment,” she said, acknowledging how far she has come in her career. Her office is also decorated with campaign memorabilia, including several MAGA baseball caps and campaign buttons, which represent her dedication to the causes she’s passionate about.

Among the mementos in her office is a corkboard filled with keepsakes—one of which is a printout of a meme she loves. “It shows a man rejecting a brain and saying, ‘No thanks, I won’t be needing that,’” Leavitt said with a laugh. “We want critical thinking around here,” she added, further emphasizing the importance of independent thought in her role as press secretary.

Leavitt then showed off the desk that she first occupied when she was working as an assistant press secretary.

A Job Full of Responsibility

Leavitt’s role involves more than just speaking to the press—it’s about ensuring that the President’s message and values are communicated clearly and effectively. She described the process of preparing for press briefings as something that requires “a lot of research” and constant communication with the President. “I speak to the President multiple times before I take the podium to understand his thoughts and feelings, so I can reflect them accurately in the briefing,” she said.

A Warm Welcome and Unique Work Culture

During the tour, Leavitt also pointed out the unique aspects of working within the White House, from the security protocols to the more personal moments, like the spontaneous interactions with other members of the White House staff. One of those moments occurred when the pair bumped into The White Lotus actor Jason Isaacs, who was in Washington for the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Later in the tour, Leavitt took Mackz to the South Court Auditorium in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, typically used for interviews, press conferences, and presidential appearances. It was another reminder of the many spaces where crucial conversations and decisions take place.
